The typical time for staying in a job is 3 years for it to look like you're not a perpetual job hopper. If there are certain things you want, be sure to get it in writing BEFORE you start the job. With the tough economy and many companies having to adapt to stay profitable or even in business, adjustments need to be made. This could encompass schedules, staffing, raises, salary, benefits, vacation and many other areas. It you can learn from this job and use it to develop skills for your next position, stick with it. I also suggest finding another job before you quit this one. Times are tough and it is not so easy to find a job right now in most fields. If you are in the medical field, you may have an easier time but I have friends in several industries who are unemployed and have been out if jobs anywhere from 1 month to a year.

if your happy and getting good pay why not stay until you can retire me personally if i liked my job and had great benifits i'd rather stay long at one job then to be moving around but everyone is differant .although i'm sure there are times when a person is just fed up with the people they work with and dont want to go to work no more but its just the spare of the moment thing.we all get in our moods well good luck in what you decide

It depends on the job, the company and the individual. If you are happy then you could stay for as long as they'll have you but if you want to move up the ladder and the opportunities are not there then it is probably time to look around.
Does that help at all? :)

Depends on the job really-
If it's just for a paycheck, well do what you have to do (roughly a year or two)
If it's a career job, 5-7 years would be nice,

Generally you know when it is time to 'move on' or for 'change'. You will one day all of a sudden no longer feel 'part of the team'. Little 'signs' emerge that have you questioning your 'direction' and your original 'intent' for the present position you are in. We go through many changes, some as little as three months in one 'job' may be all you needed to 'move forward' into a new direction that may be presenting itself. It could also come from 'within' the same company you are already employed in, moving 'up' so to speak, with a better position for you to express yourself freely in and of course the dollars to go with.
No 'job' owns you!!!!!
I have had two 'long-term' jobs amongst 5 'short term' jobs. Long term being 4 plus years, short term 18 months to 2.5 years. All employment opportunities will offer you 'learning resources' which you may utilise later in life, maybe opening your own business direction, due to learning so many variables due to job changes. Too many job changes may be judged as not a 'stable employee' by some employers, yet if one can show that one merely 'out grows' and is continually moving forward from job to job rather than job to welfare to job to welfare and so forth (if you know what I mean) resume stat's do count depending on where you wish to take yourself.
One of my most respected employers said 'Gina, you will never earn lots of money working for me'. I looked at him in total suprise. He went on to clarify himself....If you can be your own boss you will make more money than I could ever pay you....don't follow someone else's dream, don't help me make mine come true, I can do that for myself. Believe in your own and make it happen.
Today I make that happen....thank you Jeff.
Love, Light Peace & Happiness be yours,
Blessings be,

Depends on how much you like the job. If you're just working there to get experience I'd say about two years. If you love the job, working til retirement is great.

This depends:
(1) until you find a better one.
(2) until you discover a job you really love that pays for your actual; needs.

I guess I would say as long as you are getting out of it what you want. If you are unhappy then it would be a good idea to make a move. Life is too short to spend it unhappy.
